I paid $0.33 for this culinary grimoire at a flea market in rural Ohio. I feel that it’s my duty to re-introduce this 70-year-old wizardry to the modern world. This blog will serve to document my experience casting its many spells – all of which require tinned, off-pink, proteinaceous material components.

Each dish will be rated on:

Price:  dirt-cheap, cheap, pricey, outrageous Availability of Ingredients:  common, uncommon, limited, hard to find Difficulty: very easy, easy, medium, difficult Taste:  blech, meh, nice, delicious Overall:  anti-magic, mundane, enchanted, arcane

I hope you enjoy this sort-of 50’s, sort-of occult, mostly ridiculous, all canned meat adventure.
